One thing that UH does not possess is lot of diversity. I would not suggest this school for someone who is looking for advanced technology or a vast array of people. If you don't like the beach or warm weather, this is not the place for you. Most students spend every moment they can riding a wave or just laying on the sand catching the rays. The sports programs are not the greatest, except the girls volleyball team. So, if you are hoping to catch a football game and watch your team win, wrong school!!

Hawaii is the most diverse place in the country. The university is in a major city (honolulu), but is in the middle of nature as well. Sure, the buildings could be renovated, and the food could be better, but the people are totallt tolerant and friendly. The campus is also all about "being green" and sustainable.

Justin

Any person with dreams of travelling the world and broadening their horizons would not enjoy attending University of Hawaii. The University offers a very unique perspective about one particular culture, however the fairly small campus and the remote location do not offer as much opportunity for travel and varied experiences as other colleges.

someone who has an undecided major

Dorian

Personally, I was a pretty strong student in High School. When I came to UH, it was a major change from being told what to do at all times in class to being able to do whatever I wanted. I really disregarded my 1st year of school because I had never been on my own and it was great to do whatever I wanted, whenever. If you're a major party person or dislike school, this is not the place for you. It's extremely hard, no matter how hard work to bring your GPA back up.

People shouldn't attend UH, if they are addicted to drugs and alcohol, if they aren't going to focus on their studies. Also, people shouldn't attend UH if they want to party all the time, people who do these things often times end up leaving the school after their first semester. People also shouldn't attend UHM if they are going to miss a lot of classes, UH has a strict attendance policy.

Marie

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is someone who doesn't like the beach, sunny weather, friendly people and doesn't want to further their education to better themselves.

Ashley

I consider the University of Hawai'i Manoa to be a school for anybody. There is a lot of diversity here within ethnicity and majors.

Cody

Someone who is both a very environmentally aware person and goal oriented. The conventional view is that education increases one's earning potential, so attending college is a ticket to a high-paying job; With University of Hawaii this holds true and the majority of people who graduate with the same major as me "Marine Biology" will obtain a job. So if you love the ocean and a great learning environment come to UNiversity of Hawaii.
